Why I Love This Pattern: Brides de Gala is one of the most iconic Hermes patterns in the collection and also for being featured in “Mad Men”. It’s a pattern that’s been re-released numerous times with so many artist collaborations. In 1957, Robert Dumas worked with artist Hugo Grygkar. He placed two bridles face to face and realized how perfect this would be for a scarf design and reflects the beginnings of Hermes as an equestrian shop. On the bridal we can see Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, known in Greek mythology as the Moirai, or the Fates, represent destiny as the Spinner, the Measurer, and the Unbending.
